Owner-reported complaints naming the other system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Other / unspecified reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID NEAR SHREVEPORT, LA USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF OFF THE ROAD ON THE SHOLDER. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. I LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED OVER TWICE. I HAD 22 STAPLES IN MY HEAD AND A BURN ON MY NECK FROM THE SEAT BELT. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA, BUT PRAISED THE SAFETY FEATURES FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND PURCHASED A 2009 CAMRY HYBRID WHEN THEY BECAME AVAILABLE. MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ENCOURAGED ME TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE MY EXPERINCE WAS SO SIMILAR TO THAT OF OTHER CAMRY OWNERS. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA'S WEBSITE INDICATED THAT HYBRIDS WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR 18000 -MILE SERVICE, THE DEALER SAID IT HAD BEEN RECALLED! A REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE GAS PETAL.

I CONTACTED TOYOTA AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE FLOOR MATS WITH THEIR TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. I PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY (USED) IN JANUARY OF 2007. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE AT TOYOTA THAT MY FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE MOVES INVOLUNTARILY UNDER BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL, HE ASKED ME IF I HAD THE MAT ANCHORED CORRECTLY. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO ANCHOR IN THE CARPETING OR A HOLE WHERE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ONE. I FURTHER ADVISED THERE WAS NO HOLE IN THE MAT FOR AN ANCHOR. THE REP SOUNDED SURPRISED AT THIS AND TOOK DOWN MY INFORMATION. THE REP TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HEAR BACK FROM TOYOTA AND TO REMOVE MY MATS AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE RECENT SAFETY ISSUES. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA AND THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE ON THIS SITE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MISSING MAT ANCHORS ON THE CARPETS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. RECENTLY THE SPEAKERS SOUNDED HORRIBLE. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THEM I NOTICED THE SPEAKER COVERS IN THE REAR WINDOW WERE CRUMBLING AND FALLING ONTO THE TOPS OF THE SPEAKERS. AFTER I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWNED CAMRYS OF VARIOUS YEARS WHO ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA'S RESOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BACK PANEL FOR A COST OF $700 THAT INCLUDES LABOR. THESE ARE $30 SPEAKER COVERS THAT COULD BE REPLACED FOR LESS THAN $75 INSTALLED. WITH THE NUMEROUS CASES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED OR COME UP WITH A VIABLE SOLUTION THAT ISN'T $700. *TR
